Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter, widely considered to be one of the most important artists of the Art Nouveau movement. He is best known for his gilded, decorative portraits and landscapes, which often feature sinuous lines, gold leaf, and complex patterns. His work was heavily influenced by Japanese art and he is considered a pioneer of modern art in Europe. He was a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement, which sought to break away from the traditional academies and promote modern art.
Klimt's most famous works include the portraits "Adele Bloch-Bauer I" and "The Kiss," both of which are highly valued and widely recognized. He died in 1918, but his work continues to inspire artists and art lovers around the world.

I first discovered MTM eight years ago at Legacy Prep Academy in Utah. I signed up to volunteer and I was blown away! It was simple, informative, and so much fun. The structure of the scripted lesson plans made it so easy to present to students. Art history, technique, creative inspiration, cultural literacy! All these things presented in a way that is fun and easy to retain. It is a joy for the students and the adults lucky enough to be teaching them!
